Tottenham Loan Watch - August 28

It was a rough Sunday in North London yesterday, as two clubs from Manchester destroyed Arsenal (good) and Tottenham (very, very bad).

But with the loaned out Tottenham players we saw some positives, unlike the first club. Steven Caulker is looking a phenom, the talisman of an unexpectedly strong Swansea defense. Adam Smith has become a mainstay at right back for MK Dons as they struck down Norwich City in the League Cup.

We saw the rise of the Tottenham goalkeepers. The recently loaned-out David Button and Oscar Janssen have both earned starting spots at their respective clubs.
